The theme for the PentaxForums.com November Photo Contest is:

Song Title Literalisms

Take an image that represents a song title as in 'Brown Sugar', get it? Please be creative and take time to plan your shot. The more creative entries will do better in this contest. Working backwards may work for this contest; another example would be 'November Rain' by Guns and Roses for this one, as long as it rains.

As usual, please do not post your submissions in this thread! Make a new thread in the submission sub-forum instead; limit one photo per user. Good luck to all participants! If this is your first contest, you may be interested in reading the articles below:

I guess Piss Outside by Wayne Perkins would be a nono. Even though he is my favorite blues guitarest...

Piss would be ok, no wieners though.

Q: where shall we state the name of the song/picture?
should it be name of the thread or should it be "imprinted" on the picture itself?

Sweet! We're looking for new flatmates this week, so I know what Frenzal Rhomb song I'm doing!

Those Byron Bay fools have a few interesting song titles. I personally like The Radiators and I think most Australians will know exactly what I am talking about.

Otherwise I could go for Machine Gun Fellatio, always been a favourite band name and I like their music too.

In reality, I will raise my mind above my belt and think of something more worthwhile and clever.

ummm - Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back :P?

Well if you are tossin' out "Piss Outside" by Wayne Perkins, then I will toss out "Piss up a rope" by Ween... It was starting to get messy anyway!

There was a song in the sixties called 'Come Outside', I'm really going to have to get my 'double entendres' under control.

Goal for this competition: get Adam to chew out his own eyes.

nice theme but it very hard for non-english people likes me

[MRRiley]

not necessarily thanh.... just shoot a vietnamese song and post the pic and song title. who knows, you might transcend the language barrier.

for you guys over there in the U.S. "born in the USA" must be an easy one...
greets from good old europe!

I think it would be good for people to append the title and artist of their photo/song to the image itself, otherwise the voting will be rather strange.

"Wow, I really like this photo on its own merits, but what song is it? Should I still vote for it or not?"

Wayne Perkins also did a song on the same cd Mendo Hotel, called Just Can't Come To The Phone Right Now. I guess you can figure out the lyrics to that one.

The hardest part of this challenge is to limit yourself to only one song title.

I selected dozens of titles in just the first few minutes of consideration.

Some of the easiest titles to match with images:

Fly Like an Eagle- Steve Miller Band
Born to Run - Bruce
Tall Cool Woman in a Black Dress- Hollies
Summer in the City - Lovin' Spoonful
Raindrops- Dee Clark
Runaway- Del Shannon
White Room - Cream
Poisoning Pigeons in the Park - Tom Lehrer
I Wish It Would Rain - Tempataions

The list is practically endless.

I really hope nobody does the truly awful song by Sammy Hagar - "Dick in the Dirt" or "Hooker with a p3nis" by Tool even though it is a good song - I'd hate to see the visual of it.
